Lyrics

My friend called me last night with a desperate voice.
She said, "I can't believe I've gone and made another bad choice.
That man that I've been seeing hasn't done what he said
And I'm starting to wish I was somewhere else, instead."
I said, "I haven't done much better, no doubt.
But there's one little thing that I finally figured out."

As is. You're gonna have to take him as is.
And there are no guarantees.
As is. You're never gonna change him.
You're gonna have to leave or just agree to disagree. As is.

She said, "I see what you mean when you put it that way.
But I still don't understand why they won't do what they say.
He promised he would change for the better
As soon as he was sure me and him would be together.
But now he's just the same as all the men I've known before.
He better straighten up or I'm walking out the door."

As is. You gonna have to take him as is.
And there are no guarantees.
As is. You're never gonna change him.
You're gonna have to leave or just agree to disagree. As is.

She said, "You're not too helpful."
I said, "I'm not a fool. How far would that man get if he were trying to change you?
But go ahead, if you want. You can try.
It's never gonna happen. You're only gonna cry.
I know you get more warning when you buy a used car
But the same rules apply.
You won't get very far.

As is. You're gonna have to take him as is.
And there are no guarantees.
As is. You're never gonna change him.
You're gonna have to leave or just agree to disagree.
As is.
